Maybe he is doing it on purpose because he knows it's going down and he can claim a greater improvement once it goes up.

Looks like it. Maybe they were referencing 2018 and I missed it.

Montgomery and gurley are roughly the same size. It was poor the blocking and zero holes created by the Bears OL. Not that montgomery showed much but it wasn't the size.

That is the average for the whole year. If you go back and read articles about last season, they will say that they ramped him up slowly last year but had his highest velocity of his career through the middle months of the year. with the consistent velocity that pitchers are trying to throw over the last few years, UCL reconstructions are correlated more with the excessive tensile stress on the ligament due to the effort moreso than pure mechanics of offspeed pitches like the slider as was the primary issue from the 80s into the 90s.

UCL reconstruction is more correlated with the increase in consistent velocity. There were articles last year detailing that in the middle of last season he was throwing with the highest velocity of his career. Cooper also knew this and they kept him under more control here.

All the talk of the Red Sox letting Sale do what he wants with no restrictions and his subsequent wearing down at the end of each season seems to have taken it's toll. The reports of him throwing harder in Boston than in Chicago seem to have have played a role as well. Some of the articles stating how Boston was going to restrict his innings and change his approach this year were a little too late.

I dont think that other countries are being as strict as is being reported or people believe. A friends daughter was stuck in Italy on study abroad. She had 6 flights canceled out of Italy in the last 2 days while others were flying out. With no flights for 2 days they decided to take a train to Frankfurt and fly out of Germany. They only thing they had to do was sign formssaying they will report if they have a positive test within 2 weeks and agree to be contacted if someone else on their flight from Germany has a positive test within 2 weeks. No real restrictions. She made it from the plane through customs to her parents car in just over an hour.

Many are doing that or if they are bigger splitting into 3 or 4 shifts so people are only in once or twice a week. Some dont have a choice. My wife's company was ordered by the mayor of New York to review all of their clients and let them know if they have income protection coverage and to what extent. He gave them 30 days. She said they have 15000 clients in New York city.

Chess players really don't come into contact with other humans anyway, do they? (jk i love the game too.)

The indoor national championships for track/field are still on for this weekend mostly because the athletes were already there. However, the Big 10 and ACC have cancelled their athletics so all of the athletes who qualified are there but aren't allowed to participate.

Obviously not an Avengers fan. In one of the movies a guy named Thanos randomly killed 1/3 of the universe because he believed it was overcrowded and was getting to a tipping point.

Welcome to those around in 1994 during the strike. At least this time there will probably be a WS.

The Thanos theory of the universe?

Right but again. Was everyone even with mild symptoms tested? Also taking the rate from one area in northern Italy is not the way the research nor claculations should be done. Everyone on the board discusses small sample size in baseball. Same rule applies here.

Which isn't a few million. Not that it is good or acceptable. My comment was on the exaggeration that we can expect a few million deaths.

No. He doesn't have to touch anyone and he could do meetings remotely.

I think we can all logically agree that the mortality rate being reported is far too high. In the US alone testing is being done on very few people. Many people have very mild symptoms and aren't testing. So the rate after all is said and done will be far lower than current;y reported.

They are at a higher risk than the general population. Their job requires them to contact other people's bodily fluids without any protection.

This is an interesting question for economics. I imagine there are people lined up on both sides of the argument stating which one would be better.

There's nothing out there even remotely suggested there will be a few million deaths.

Can't change the past. We need to work on what we can now. The cases will continue. People should not be living their lives as before. The washing hands and taking precautions is key as well as the social distancing.

It will limit the spreading. It won't stop it but I don't think anything will stop it.

It's going to get everywhere but limiting it is the key. Things like the avoiding the large groups like the colleges and sporting events will help as well. It's the shutdowns I have issue with totally shutting down won't stop it either.

As long as travel and such are limited it will have a greater effect. It will still limit it especially if large groups are avoided. There is no way to absolutely stop it but containing the spread it the goal. There will be cells pop up and containing that is the key. Most colleges are extending break, making break earlier and doing online classes for 2 weeks after. Essentially that limits many large gatherings until mid-April. we'll see how that limits it going forward.

Correct. I meant as far as spreading wildly throughout the nation. We can isolate it much more effciently for the country as a whole.
